I just noticed my filed answer against my landlord, who's suing me for non-payment, wasn't filled out correctly by the clerk, and my court case is next Tuesday.
I orally answered the petition and wanted to counterclaim as I have the rental history, and my unit is rent stabilized after I was told it wasn't, plus my landlord has been threatening to evict me illegally, and I have the emails of him telling me to move out over a weekend.
When they call my name in court next week if I say TENANT APPLICATION, will I be able to amend my answers for a counterclaim?
I should also mention I took my landlord to court over an HP claim because of 18 violations and then my landlord sued me back for rent I paid.
Appreciate any help; really stressing out.
